If you are lucky enough to live in a traditional period property you might well be yearning for the elegant aesthetic of 19th century timber windows. But if you’re dreading the drafts and cold associated with the old timber windows of days gone by, the Residence Collection from Great Harwood Windows could offer the perfect solution.
Featuring Residence 9 and Residence 7 windows, these British made, flush casement windows merge classic beauty with modern performance, eliminating the discomfort and high energy costs of traditional period properties. With their advanced seven or nine chamber design, they deliver exceptional energy efficiency, far exceeding standard window options. Read on to discover what makes the Residence Collection so special.
Most modern UPVC windows utilise internal chambers to prevent heat transferring from the outside to inside your home. However, Residence Collection windows go beyond standard designs, featuring a higher number of chambers for reduced draughts and exceptional thermal performance. This results in an impressive A++ energy rating for every Residence collection window installed by Great Harwood, translating to significant energy savings and thermal benefits. And with options for double glazing or triple glazing, you can enjoy a comfortable home year-round.
Both Residence 7 and Residence 9 offer exceptional energy efficiency and a wide range of colours. While Residence 9’s nine chamber design provides a slight edge in thermal insulation, Residence 7 presents a slimmer profile which you may see as an advantage aesthetically.
The exterior profile of both lines is identical, maintaining a perfectly flush appearance. However, the interior differs. Residence 7 features a slimmer, 75mm frame, creating a flush interior finish – a feature not found in the 100mm Residence 9. Additionally, Residence 7 offers a broader selection of corner joinery and colour options.
The Residence Collection bridges the gap between historical accuracy and modern innovation with the flush sash exterior capturing the timeless elegance of 19th century timber windows with remarkable accuracy, and with adherence to the requirements of most conservation area planning guidelines. This commitment to historical accuracy is paired with the latest thermal performance technologies, offering both beauty and efficiency.
Whether you select Residence 7 or Residence 9, the Residence Collection offers a diverse range of styles and different colour options to perfectly complement your traditional home. Embrace classic charm with woodgrain finishes like Rosewood and Golden Oak, replicating the beauty of real timber.
For conservation areas, colours from the Heritage collection such as Chartwell Green and Clotted Cream ensure seamless integration with existing architecture. For contemporary homes, bold hues like Bronze and Eclectic Grey create a striking modern look. Personalise your windows further with a selection of hardware and accessories, including pear drop and monkey tail handles and hinges, available in both functional and decorative styles.
